Classic Highlife album
 $51.75  
This 5 cd box set anthology features a staggering 126 tracks by Australian folk stars The Seekers features "This Land Is Your Land," "Children Go Where I Send," "Open Up Them Pearly Gates," "Dese Bones G'wine Rise Ag," "Chilly Winds," "Light From The Lighthouse," "Waltzing Matilda," and "Lemon Tree."
Five CDs on the Seekers may seem like overkill, and the $70 list price may provoke an "in-your-dreams" response even from fans. But this set works -- one listen fully justifies it on musical terms; the cost is only a little higher than comparable five-disc sets, and the unique range of material makes it a bargain. The set is broken up into five volumes, the first (1963-64) covering the group's early history: their original 12-song demo, coupled with parts of their debut Australian album, Introducing the Seekers, and their first album for ...

There are few musicians whose music has indisputably advanced humanity. Reggae figurehead Bob Marley--a songwriter, poet, activist, and visionary--is one of them. The idea that a single-disc collection could represent the depth, breadth, and power of Marley's achievement is far-fetched, but LEGEND makes an excellent attempt. ...

Thurston Moore,"Noise trip: memoriez of Noise Fest"(myspace.com/sonicyouth, Dec. 11 2005):"there was one weird band called Fakir who had this really messed-up sounding 7" which they brought in and asked if they could play. They were kind of young and hippieish and how they came to find me at White Columns I’ll never know. I said they could play andthey were awesome, odd and sensual, as opposed to some of the mostly stringent angularities being projected by the Soho heavy squad . . ." OK, HERE IT IS: r.kane/r.kivean hour of 3 NYC no-and-noise wave bands from back in the day, featuring r.kane on guitar and drums: FAKIR (1981), tracks 1-4UGLIGENS (1980), tracks 5-8WHITE HARLEM (1982), tracks 9-12THE LEGEND OF R.KANEr.kane and bob solete arrived in nyc in 1976 just as anyone with money was leaving. Caught up in the diy post-punk scene they dropped out of grad school and with fellow students formed the short-lived Young Hegelians. Out of the ashes fell the Ugligens, just r.kane on guitar and bob solete on drums, although sometimes not. The dynamic duo "practiced" in a vestry street basement divided up into a warren of cinder-block spaces for the aspirants; for a while r.kane even called it home, coming back to sleep with the amps, pipes, and mice after all the other bands had quit for the night. In 1980 the band played all of 4 live gigs - the first was in-between sets at Raul’s in Austin, courtesy of the Big Boys (rip) - each under a different name (the Ugligens, God’s Lounge, Che Ole, Robert Yesco), probably to ensure our continued anonymity should anyone have liked us. "r.kane/r.kive" presents excerpts from the Ugligens’ only recorded basement sessions, shortly after which bob solete quit playing music. r.kane hooked up with bill schilling, a guitarist and vocalist, bill’s bass-playing girlfriend janine gentile and brother bobby to form Fakir. They had a strange driving but strangled sound, with great and unintelligible vocals, as evidenced on their extreme low-fi 7-inch, featuring "the only dance there is" b/w "phalange". Only 100 copies were sold at 99 Records, each with a different spray-painted cover by bob solete. Fakir also played live 4 times, starting with the "Red Brigade Benefit" at Club 57 and ending in summer 1981 at Noise Fest, a 9-day and night art/music exposition at White Columns where the song "desire" was recorded live. Then r.kane disappeared into the south of Mexico fortwo months, looking for the revolution, finding instead the Guatemalan police-state, and exiting via Belize. Upon returning he teamed up with vinnie, a talented vocalist-songwriter, and his bass-playing girlfriend debbie to form White Harlem. This 1982 ...
